Amy Winehouse disappointed members of her family and friends on Saturday (September 13th) after she failed to turn up for her own birthday party.

Winehouse, who turned 25 yesterday (September 14th), had been due to celebrate the occasion at London's Jazz After Dark.

But the singer is reported to have refused to leave her home in Camden, despite three taxis being dispatched to collect her.

“Amy was standing in front of the mirror telling everyone how rough she looked. Unfortunately her lifestyle has had a major affect on her appearance and it’s only just started to sink in,” a friend told the Sun newspaper.

“She kept saying she was ugly and was in an awful state. They couldn’t get her out.”

Producer Mark Ronson, singer Adele and Winehouse's mother, Janis, were all apparently invited to the party in Soho.
